I was woken up this morning at exactly 9:30 by a phone call. When I answered, a computer said, I'm sorry and hung up. Kinda wierd.
Yeah, so despite my crippling cold, the reading went well last night -- I managed to hold my snot in the entire time I was on stage! Yay, me. Everyone laughed when they were supposed to, for the most part, except for one poem, when they fell into a horrified silence. Don't know why, other audiences liked the poem.
And thank you again to Eric! Who's the greatest friend ever for coming and letting me cough at him.
As to the people that feel into a horrified silence on the one poem... Some people just don't realize a genius when they hear one. ;)
ReplyDeleteOn day those some people will slip and fall into something else. [evil grin]
BTW - is it one of your poems we would know from your blog?
Just curious.
Congrats for holding back the snot and an otherwise successful reading.
